Maple Avenue School

N/A

My child has some sensory issues and this school offers NOTHING for children who need simulation and have disabilities. They label the child as "trouble" and push them aside. The school district will also be quick to try and tell you your child has ADHD and tell you to put them on medication. My child was only in first grade and was being bullied for being "different" than the other children and it was handled VERY POORLY! I was told that it would be taken care of and it continued throughout the entire school year making it extremely difficult for my child to even want to attend school anymore. Everyday he would scream and cry. He was having his lunch money taken from him, his food, and being touched inappropriately by another child and I was told because it didn't happen in the classroom there wasn't anything that they could do. It was a relief for the school year to end but sadly as the school year is now starting back up they put my child back into the same classroom with this kid. When I brought it to the attention of his new teacher I was told the same thing all over again, "they'll be separated so they are not together". It didn't work last year so how will it work this year? Whatever happened to ZERO TOLERANCE!!!!??? And please stop putting labels on the children who might need the little extra stimulation and who may fidget with anxiety or other quirks. Stop putting them front and center in the classroom as if they are "bad" or in timeout when they are doing things that can not be helped.

So my daughter went there just this past year, and yes my child has some disabilities and this school used that against her and pretty much told me that she couldn’t come back and switched her to a different school. And I always had a problem with the school nurse always called me for every little thing even for a scratch. I can’t stand this school

Sacred Heart Villa has been a true blessing for our family! Our little one has flourished under the nurturing care of Sister Maryann and the other sisters. We are so grateful for the love and guidance they have provided and for the incredible progress our little one has made in the K3 class!
